  • QuestionWill it work on a 2024 accord with apple wired play

    Asked by walterB4306.

    • Answer NOTES ON COMPATIBILITY ======>>>>> If the CarPlay or Android Auto icon on your car stereo does not show unless your iPhone or Android phone is plugged into the car -- directly via USB -- then the adapter will likely not work with your vehicle. Some vehicles only get the app from the phone and do not have the software built into the vehicle. The CarPlay or Android Auto icon must show even when your phone is not directly connected to the vehicle via USB cable. There are some exceptions with certain models where the icon will show but the phone still needs to be directly connected for the vehicle to use the software off the phone. So be sure to test the unit. If you need further support contact [email protected].

  • QuestionWill this work in my 2015 Cadillac srx??

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Thanks for the note. ***NOTES ON COMPATIBILITY*** If the CarPlay or Android Auto icon on your car stereo does not show unless your iPhone or Android phone is plugged into the car -- directly via USB -- then the adapter will likely not work with your vehicle. Some vehicles only get the app from the phone and do not have the software built into the vehicle. The CarPlay or Android Auto icon must show even when your phone is not directly connected to the vehicle via USB cable. There are some exceptions with certain models where the icon will show but the phone still needs to be directly connected for the vehicle to use the software off the phone. In some cases the adapter will not be able to use all features of the vehicle stereo. ======================== SETUP Once plugged in and the vehicle is on, connect your phone's Bluetooth to the Aluratek CarPlay or Android Auto adapter. It is ok if your Phone's Bluetooth is also connected to the vehicle's Bluetooth as well...but make sure the phone is connected to the Aluratek adapter. You can disconnect from the unit and reconnect to establish a better connection if needed. - Note: You should not need to use your car or phone WIFI for this, not unless the Bluetooth does not work. =============================== Now go to the app section on your Vehicle stereo and tap on CarPlay or Android Auto. As the app opens you may see a spinning time wheel as it makes the connection. Once done you should see a split screen with your maps and music showing. In some cases your contacts will also be showing if you authorize contacts.

  • QuestionCan it work on my 2016 dodge Durango rt

    Asked by Me123.

    • Answer I believe this only works for cars that support USB CarPlay, it doesn’t seem like that vehicle comes with CarPlay so unless you added an after market CarPlay that uses usb I don’t think it will work.

  • QuestionCan I use it on my Kia forte 2024?

    Asked by Diddy.

    • Answer This all depends on whether the CarPlay icon and program is built into the vehicle or not. The unit is not compatible with every vehicle due to the numerous ways manufacturers make the stereo systems. So test things out quickly and take the unit back if it does not work. See my notes on setup. ---------->>> SETUP Once plugged in and the vehicle is on, connect your phone's Bluetooth to the Aluratek CarPlay or Android Auto adapter. It is ok if your Phone's Bluetooth is also connected to the vehicle's Bluetooth as well...but make sure the phone is connected to the Aluratek adapter. You can disconnect from the unit and reconnect to establish a better connection if needed.

    Asked by GaryEP.

    • Answer If you have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto built in to work with usb, and have a usb port, it should work. If you already have wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto built into the vehicle, then that should be used and this would be unnecessary.

  • Questionwill this work on my 2015 mercedes glk?

    Asked by harris.

    • Answer As long as the vehicle has the Apple CarPlay or Android Auto built in then yes. If the stereo in the vehicle was built to read the CarPlay app directly off the phone when connected via USB then you will have to continue to use a direct USB connection.
